SUMMARY:Gold Leaf Course Illuminated Letter at Strelley Hall
DESCRIPTION:\nLearn to gold-leaf in Nottinghamshire at Strelley Hall in Created By Hand’s wonderful workshops.\n\n\n\n1 Day Workshop (10:00am – 4:00pm)\n\n\n\n£65.00 to include all materials\n\n\n\n‘Illuminated’ manuscript is the name given to text which contains gold or silver which reflects the light. A manuscript which is richly decorated in colour only, without having gold or silver is, technically, not illuminated.\n\n\n\nIllumination with gold goes back into antiquity but is especially common in the later Middle Ages in manuscripts such as Books of Hours.\n\n\n\nThese days, gold leaf continues to be used to create either that classic illuminated look or a clean modern simplistic letter in an ornate frame can look just as on trend.\n\n\n\nThis one day course gives you a quick insight on how to apply and achieve a great gold leafed initial.\n\n\n\nYou will see how striking the gold makes any type of work, be it a large piece or just small highlights. This effect cannot be achieved by gold paint no matter how metallic it is.\n\n\n\nOur workshops are always light hearted, fun and are aimed to give a taster of the basic skills needed to produce beautifully illuminated script.\n\n\n\nLearn a little about the history of Illuminated Manuscripts and finish the workshop by producing up to two illuminated letters, demonstrating all that has been learned during the day.\n\n\n\nPrior to the class you need to select two initials to work with that Jane will bring to the class.\n\n\n\nOne letter you will glue for the gold leaf and one you will illuminate whilst awaiting the glue to dry on the other initial.\n\n\n\nTime permitting you may be able to complete both letters ‘ Gold Leafed’!\n\n\n\nEverything is provided for the class including glue, one sheet of gold leaf, brushes, paper and paints along with Jane’s years of knowledge on this historic skill.\n\n\n\nMany other products for excelling at this art will be available to buy on the day.\n\n\n\nCourse Highlights\n\n\n\n\nFriendly, comfortable and well lit environment\n\n\n\nUse of all tools and materials needed to complete your projects\n\n\n\nGenerous table space\n\n\n\nClear information and demonstrations\n\n\n\n\nThe course focus is always on fun and friendly creativity with lots of personal tuition from an experienced calligraphy artist.\n\n\n\nFOOD: Hot and cold refreshments will be provided throughout the workshop. You are welcome to bring your own lunch or, alternatively the shop is situated next to the wonderful Mulberry Tree Cafe where you can purchase delicious food and refreshments at reasonable prices.\n\n\n\nThe course cost includes all materials, use of tools and teas / coffees throughout the day.\n\n\n\n\nClick here to book on this terrific workshop\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.createdbyhand.co.ukTelephone 07977 657785 to book this great course\n\n\n\nWhen booking, don’t forget to let us know two initial letters you would like to illuminate. \n
